Lock if Old

 

[robotzombie]

I guess we really are the last of us again

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Welp

 

[D-Dott]

Oh yes.

 

[Savantcore]

Interesting that he says he left Naughty Dog in April. They've been working on it that long, huh?

 

[Floridian]

Shocking News.

 

[Begaria]

I guess we really are the last of us again

Ha!

Edit: Also, yes, I really want a TLOU2. It doesn't have to be the same characters, they don't even have to appear in the story. I just want more games set in that setting.

 

[redblack85]

Wow

 

[The Last One]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

 

[Nirolak]

This was pretty much a given considering how much The Last of Us sold.

 

[Bad_Boy]

The last of them.

 

[JayEH]

Well given the sales of the first game it's no surprise but...

BOOOOO Leave the story as it was (or at least use new characters).

 

[Jigolo]

Hell yes. Ellie has to be the main character in the second one.

 

[JuanLatino]

we all knew we would get an sequel sooner or later.. But still i thought Naughty Dogs next project would be a new ip.

Still happy about the news

 

[Kade]

No surprise.

 

[Lime]

Multimillion selling video game gets sequel is pretty predictable these days

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

Well duh

 

[Crossing Eden]

I kinda hope they use new characters.

 

[HabeeNo]

Holy

 

[Magwik]

Shocking

 

[gamergirly]

Cool

 

[Majine]

I was hoping ND would make a new IP, but I guess this is a good business decision.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Shocking News.

.

Did anyone not expect this? I'm still waiting for Unkarted too.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I want a different set of characters this time.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

With the first game selling ~8 million copies I think a sequel was a safe bet.

Still, thanks for the info

 

[MitchMan241]

Can't wait!

 

[DieH@rd]

We got origin story, now we get serious.

Can't wait.

 

[Duxxy3]

I guess that means no Unkarted...

 

[Wabba]

I seriously hope this is true, my favourite game.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I, for one, am shocked.

 

[KorrZ]

Christmas is saved thank you Naughty Dog !

 

[John Kowalski]

Goddamnit. I hate that every fucking game has to bear the burden of a possible sequel these days.

I hope Naughty Dog chooses not to do it.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

What a surprise.

I don't want this,

 

[scitek]

This was pretty much a given considering how much The Last of Us sold.

I don't get the correlation between units sold and the expectation of a sequel.

 

[Roven]

Why

 

[ShutterMunster]

Inevitable unnecessary sequel inbound...

EDIT:

I don't get the correlation between units sold and the expectation of a sequel.

Seriously? You don't?

Company releases product, product sells incredibly well, company says make more of said product.

 

[entremet]

Was there ever a doubt?

 

[Sciortino]

No surprise there considering how well the first sold. I would've personally left it as a one and done game but whatever.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Can't Wait. Imagine how this will look like after seeing Uncharted 4

 

[TheRealTalker]

like what a majority has already said

with the sales and reception it was a given

 

[Amentallica]

Why

Why not?

 

[iNvid02]

the first one was universally acclaimed and sold millions, ain't nothing getting in the way of dat sequel. which is good, im so ready whenever it'll be

 

[Caronte]

After the remaster it was kind of obvious.

 

[JayEH]

I don't get the correlation between units sold and the expectation of a sequel.

Sony = corporation. Corporation = stock holders. Stock holders like money.

 

[Slurmer]

Turns out naught dog likes money

 

[entremet]

Why

Just don't play it when it comes out. That's all.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Haven't played the first yet but this is awesome.

 

[Shock_Wave]

So you are telling me that one of best games of last gen that sold a lot is getting a sequel?

Good to know, because I loved it.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Goddamnit. I hate that every fucking game has to bear the burden of a possible sequel these days.

I hope Naughty Dog chooses not to do it.

The Last of Us 2 would effectively be a new game if the cast is changed. The concern shouldn't be with the way the game plays, but whether or not Naughty Dog can deliver on writing.

 

[LDAF]

I guess we really are the last of us again

The Last of Us Too.
